Chapter 671 Reminder

After listening to He Tianyu's story, Song Ying was shocked. After the shock, she was puzzled again, "This is your secret, right? Why are you telling me?"

"Do you believe what I said?" He Tianyu was surprised. In order to get her mother to agree to her marriage with Yang Chao, she told her mother about her past life, but her mother didn't believe it at all. She said that she had read too many storybooks and was talking nonsense.

Song Ying started talking incoherently, "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. It's enough that it's true for you. Are we close enough to confide such important secrets?"

He Tianyu thought about it and it seemed to make sense, but she felt something was wrong.

Unable to think of anything, she put it aside for the time being, pondered for a moment and said: "We have no grudges against each other, but I robbed you of your life, so I want to make some compensation.

Yuan Qing is not a good man. He is indeed very good at studying, but being in the officialdom is not just about being good at studying. One also needs connections and family background.

Without these, no matter how powerful he is, he is only a prefect of the fourth rank. Given your current situation, you can definitely choose a better husband."

This was beyond Song Ying's expectation. She didn't expect that He Tianyu came to remind her!

She was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you, but you don't have to feel guilty. I don't feel like you've robbed me of my life."

"You..." He Tianyu observed her expression carefully, "You really don't mind at all?"

"I didn't experience what you did in your previous life. To me, he is just a stranger."

He Tianyu had a complicated expression. She should be happy, but for some reason, she felt a little lost.

"In your previous life, was I also a great doctor?" Song Ying asked again.

He Tianyu suppressed her disappointment and nodded, "Doctor Lin's apprentice is naturally very powerful."

Song Ying frowned. Is he powerful just because he is the master's apprentice?

She felt that no matter whether it was true or not, she didn't like the previous life that He Tianyu mentioned.

However, there is no harm in asking more questions.

So, she continued to ask, "Where's Yan Xing? How was she in your previous life? And Xiao Xiang? How are my master, uncles, and brothers?"

"Uh, I don't know. I'm not familiar with them and haven't paid attention to them." When she said this, He Tianyu couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

At that time, she was trapped in the backyard and it was very difficult for her to survive. How could she have the energy to care about other people, especially some irrelevant people?

Song Ying felt a little regretful, but then he thought that the fact that he had no recollection of them at least meant that nothing particularly serious had happened to them.

"Thank you for telling me this." Song Ying glanced at the sky. "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

He Tianyu didn't expect that after hearing such important news, she would still be so calm. She was stunned for a long time, and when she saw Song Ying was about to leave, she hurriedly said, "Will you still marry Yuan Qing?"

Song Ying nodded.

He Tianyu was puzzled. "Why? I told you he's not a good man, and his family isn't easy to get along with. He..."

"Ms. He," Song Ying interrupted, "Everyone has a different definition of a good man. I chose him after careful consideration."

They had known each other since childhood, and she knew very well what kind of person Yuan Qing was. How could she easily reject him or change her decision just because of someone else's words?

"But you don't care that he has a mediocre career?"

"I'm attracted to him as a person, not his power." Song Ying said it in a high-sounding manner, but he guessed in his heart that He Tianyu might have undergone a so-called "rebirth" and believed that she was a person blessed by God. Her standards had become too high and she even looked down on an official of a prefecture!

Hey, wait, that's not right.

After a trip to the capital, she had a certain understanding of officialdom. In officialdom, the higher the rank, the greater the power. The court liked to use the smaller to govern the larger. For example, the cabinet ministers, although they were actually of the fifth rank, commanded all civil and military officials. If they wanted to be crowned with a noble title, they could only serve as the ministers of the six ministries concurrently.

There were also seventh-rank inspectors who could remove high-ranking officials from office with just a memorial.

In addition, the imperial court had a tradition of civil officials controlling military officials. The fifth-rank military governor kept an eye on the food and wages of the second-rank general, and the seventh-rank attendant could reject documents for mobilizing troops.

The wife of a second-rank deputy governor shouldn't be treated like a star by all the other ladies in the capital, right?

Is it because she was a concubine at that time, knew limited things, and had limited contact with people?

These thoughts flashed through her mind, and then she put them aside. They were not important and not worth worrying about.

Watching Song Ying leave, He Tianyu was confused. Was she gone just like that? Did she really believe it?

If you believe it, can you really be so calm?

After leaving the teahouse, Yuan Shan asked with concern, "Sister Song Ying, what did she want to talk to you about?"

Song Ying hummed, "Remind me."

"Remind you?" Yuan Shan was stunned. "What could you possibly need her to remind you of?"

Song Ying shrugged and didn't elaborate.

Song Ying did not give in. On the day of He Tianyu's wedding, Song Tian went back and accompanied Li to the banquet.

Now, he is an official of some size and a well-known figure in Qinghua. The He family is in business and will never offend the officials in the yamen if they can win them over. Therefore, his arrival was highly valued by the He family.

As soon as Song Tian and Li arrived at the entrance of Wutong Village, someone quickly passed the news to the He family, and Mr. He came to greet them in person.

"Mr. Song, you are such a rare guest!" Mr. He had a surprised smile on his face and bowed to Song Tian from a distance. "It is an honor for our He family to have you grace our sister's wedding banquet."

Song Tian was very proud, thinking back to when they were studying in the community school, Mr. He was older than them and had a better family background. In his heart, he was an unattainable existence.

At that time, Master He rarely looked at them straight in the eye, and only occasionally showed a pleasant expression to Yuan Qing.

Things change. In the past, not to mention others, he himself would never have thought that one day Mr. He would welcome him so warmly.

Although he was proud, he had been in the government office for so many years and had been tempered. He did not show it on his face. Instead, he pretended to be angry and said, "Brother He, you are treating me as an outsider. We are classmates and fellow townsmen. Our relationship is more than ordinary people. How dare I call you an official?"

Although Mr. He was also filled with emotion, his face showed surprise and he said readily, "It's my fault. I will drink three cups as punishment to apologize to you."

Song Tian smiled and asked, "Where's the master?"

"I'm talking to my father and the others. I'll lead you there." Then he said to Li, "Grandma Li, please walk slowly. The ridge is narrow. Don't fall."
